SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair or customize this product.

Avoid setting up any parts of this product where there is a risk of falling off or risk of coming in contact with water.

Avoid reaching out to touch or pick up any fallen or water submerged parts.

Never leave this product unattended during use.

Intended for use by adults only.

During and immediately after use, avoid touching any part of the compressor with bare hands as it is very hot

during such periods.

Avoid use of product near flames, explosive materials, aerosol products or oxygen devices.

Be sure to pump nothing other than atmospheric air.

It is important to determine the maximum air pressure for any tool or attachment before using it.

Air sprayer or nozzle should always be pointed away from any part of the body.

The compressor has Thermal Overload Protection, if this protection activates, cut off the source of power and let

the unit cool down for about 30 minutes. This will reset the system and allow you to safely resume use of the air

compressor.

Make sure your battery ground is detached and the tank has no pressure before you begin the installation.

Employ equipment for eye protection during drilling operations.

The specific voltage requirement for this on-board air system is 12 volt DC, therefore installation must be done to

a DC power source of 12 volts.

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

Before beginning the installation, determine each component’s spot.

Confirm you have the proper length of airline and wire.

Power wire to compressor should be kept short.

To power up the air compressor, make sure you use a 12-gauge wire or thicker.

COMPRESSOR

MOUNTING

Determine a dry place to mount your compressors. If you have chosen to install in the engine compartment,

you should mount it as close to the front as possible to allow for maximum flow of air around them and also to

avoid heat from the exhaust. IMPORTANT: Never attach the compressors to any plastic or other flexible

material.

For optimal results, the compressors should be placed as close to the battery as possible. This will reduce the

amount of wiring needed.

Avoid placing compressors near flammable liquids.

If you are planning to move compressor’s air intake to an area other than where the compressors were

installed, make sure your placement allows for the airlines to be routed from the air inlet of the compressors

to the remote inlet air filters.

Mark the spots for the holes with the mounting base as a guide and then drill. Make sure both compressors

are secured.

To enhance performance and make sure the battery of your vehicle doesn’t discharge, keep the engine

running while the compressor is being used.

BRAIDED HOSE INSTALLATION

Connect the stainless steel braided hose of the compressor to the tank’s inlet port.

IMPORTANT: The tank’s inlet port must be 1/4" N.P.T. (National Pipe Thread).

CHECK VALVE

The check valve is an important part of the air compressor and has only one function: to let air flow from one

side to the other, in this case from the compressor to the tank, while blocking air flow in the opposite direction.

IMPORTANT: When installing the braided hose do not rotate or remove the inline check valve located at the

end of the hose on the side that connects to the air tank. Doing so will damage its seals and will result in

damage to your air compressor.

REMOTE FILTER

Using a compatible remote air filter installation kit (sold separately) your compressor’s air intake can be

installed in an area other than where the compressor was installed.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The compressor has Thermal Overload Protection, if this protection activates, cut off the source of power and

let the unit cool down for about 30 minutes. This will reset the system and allow you to safely resume use of

the air compressor.

AIR TANK

MOUNTING

Find a convenient mounting location in your vehicle for the air tank. Ensure ports are reachable before drilling

any holes.

Mark the location of holes using the mounting brackets of the air tank as a template, and then drill to size.

Using mounting hardware provided, secure the air tank. IMPORTANT: Do not mount on a flexible material.

The installation location of your tank’s accessories depends on your air system’s configuration.

PORT LOCATIONS AND THREAD SIZE (NPT)

PRESSURE SWITCH RATING

The included pressure switch has a rating of 170 PSI ON, 200 PSI OFF. When the air pressure in the air tank

is below the preset ON pressure (170 PSI), the compressor will automatically turn on and will start pumping

air into the tank. When the pressure reaches the cut OFF pressure (200 PSI), the compressor will be

automatically shut off.

AIR PRESSURE GAUGE

In one of the Air Tank’s 1/4" NPT ports, using the thread sealant provided, install the air pressure gauge.

The side or top of the tank is the best location to use as to prevent condensation from entering into the gauge.

Dropping or disturbing the product can affect the product’s accuracy.

For best results, the air gauge should be installed perpendicular to the ground, with the zero facing the

bottom.

To tighten the pressure gauge into the air tank, place a wrench over the square wrench flats to tum the

gauge. This is the proper way to avoid air leakage or damage.

SAFETY VALVE

Your system comes with a safety valve designed specifically to release pressure from the air tank

automatically if 250 PSI is exceeded. This will help prevent an accident in case of pressure switch failure.

DRAIN VALVE

This valve helps you drain the water that can collect in the air tank after long periods of use.

REMOVING CONDENSATION:

To remove any condensation which has accumulated inside the tank, bleed the tank’s pressure until it ranges

from approximately 5 PSI to 20 PSI.

Remove the drain valve found at the tank’s bottom to drain the water from the tank. After draining the

accumulated condensation, reinstall the drain valve.

IMPORTANT: Draining the system regularly will extend the life of the air tank.

THREAD SEALANT

Your system includes Premium Thread Sealant, make sure to use it on all thread connections to ensure

proper air sealing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Red wire (positive) of the compressor is connected to PIN 87 on the relay. IMPORTANT: Make sure to use

wire that is as heavy as the wire of the compressor

Black wire (negative) of the compressor and PIN 85 of the relay are connected to ground.

Repeat above steps for the second compressor.

Connect together PIN 86 of both relays and then connect it to one of the terminal of the pressure switch.

Attach the remaining terminal of the pressure switch to a power source in the vehicle that only gets power

when the vehicle’s ignition is on. Recommended connection points are: windshield wiper motor, blower motor

or an accessory terminal on the fuse panel. Make sure to use wire that is as heavy as the wire of the

compressor.

Connect together PIN 30 of both relays and connect it to a constant power source using the provided 60A

fuse.

Both compressors are now set for use and will turn on automatically when air pressure in the air tank falls.

When air pressure reaches maximum PSI, they will turn off. If compressors fails to reach the maximum air

pressure of the tank, which is the Pressure Switch's cut OFF pressure, check all air connections for leaks.

While compressor are pumping, use soapy water or any bubble solution to perform this check. In case the

leak remains after tightening, re-apply thread sealant.

NOTE: To makes installation fast, trouble free and professional, this kit comes with two Pre-wired Relay Plugs

(one for each relay), they will attach to the relay only in one position.

CAUTION: Never touch fittings, braided hose or the air compressor with bare hands either during or shortly

after use.

MAINTENANCE

Make sure that electrical and fitting connections are regularly inspected, cleaned and tightened when needed.

Make sure mounting screws are regularly tightened if needed.

Drain weekly, to avoid excessive buildup of condensation.

Compressor features a washable air filter which should be cleaned using any mild form of liquid soap every

two months if it gets dusty. Just remove the front cover of the filter’s housing to reach it. Replacement time

frames depend on the operating environment and how often it is used.

Clean dirt and dust from heat spreader and motor housing of the compressor.

The motor of the air compressor has a maintenance-free lasting lubricant. DO NOT LUBRICATE.
